Question

A family plan to catch a ferry and need to book in at 12:02 am. The journey to the ferry port will take 2 hours 45 minutes. What time should they leave home in order to get to the ferry port on time?

Answer 1

9:17 P.M.

Explanation:

If the drive is 2 hours and 45 minutes and they need to be there by 12:02 am, you subtract two hours from that number. This means that if the drive was only two hours, they would have to leave home at 10:02 pm. However, it is 45 minutes longer than that so you have to subtract 45 minutes from 10:02 pm which gets 9:17 pm. Hope this helps!
